A Message from the Host
Nice to meet you! We are a small guesthouse run by a mother and daughter.
We may not be able to offer anything fancy, but we always do our best to ensure you have a comfortable stay.
Our guesthouse is a standalone house located in Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture.
The dormitory-style rooms are suitable for families, solo travelers, pilgrims on the Shikoku Henro, and even workation stays — a home-like environment where you can truly relax.
For groups of 5 or more, or guests traveling with small children, the entire house can be reserved. Please feel free to ask!
There is a parking space right in front of the building, and a police box just a few steps away, so it’s easy to find.
Meals are not provided since it is a “room-only” stay, but we have instant food available and a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator and cooking utensils — please feel free to use anything you need.
